Ingo,

I agree. I have lost a few neonates for this very reason, but I don't think that the question pertains to that. In my experience, vermiculite is a suitable substrate for nestboxes. I have hatched hundreds of geckos over the years, and have only lost 4 or 5 juveniles due to vermiculite impaction. I am a creature of habit and have tried using perlite and other incubation mediums/a, but I have found that, in my collection, I get the best results with vermiculite.
